I honestly believe they played better against United then they did against us (and the stats back that up). United were just more clinical. They really didn't play that well actually, United I mean.

I think Townsend is a real talent, strange to me that he doesn't get talked about in the same breath as many youth players in this country.
Is there a ratings thread?
I don't want to step on any toes by creating one.

Did anyone else despise the fact that they made the content on the Jumbotron in a 16:9 aspect ratio? I thought it looked stupid. For years they have used 4:3, cause the screen is of that size, and its been fine. Suddenly its just different and all smaller and stuff.. And the pregame 'show' was just rubbish..

it was 1 point after 2 games at this stage last season. We lost the first game away at Newcastle. Drew at home with West Brom IIRC.

I fucking wish mate. Truth is, while I'll always love watching Tottenham, I absolutely hate and resent Park Lane nowadays. My throat hurts from today, but it was silent around me. A disgrace, the same as the library.
Not seen it yet and therefore can't comment properly on the game but was glad to see Townsend played today and, by all accounts, did well. An extra option on the wings is always welcome, especially given the dearth of competition that Lennon has faced in recent seasons.
Anyway, it seems like we're not firing on all cylinders but we're still winning and sitting pretty for now. If we can perform but have more players coming in and gelling and settling to follow...
I believe in AVB. I believe in Baldini. I believe in Levy. I believe in Tottenham Hotspur.

I'm hitting the sack but if you all want to share a bit of a laugh with me, my Dad visited me from America today and teased me about Spurs relentlessly before the match. He's a Man City fan. BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Just back home. It was noisy as fuck where I was.
didn't rate Chadli so much and we are crying out for a playmaker, Bale anyone?
Townsend dat Townsend doe.
He is special.
Good to meet you mate.
How would a 4-4-2 have remedied that particular issue?
When will people learn that Paulinho is not a defensive midfielder and neither is Dembele.
I actually think we're already playing a lot better football than what was served up last season. More fluid, more joined-up, more threat being offered across the whole team.
I didn't see the game today as I am sunning it up in Turkey (blatant). However even without watching the game it is fairly obvious that there is absolutely no need for these ridiculous knee jerk reactions.
By the sounds of it, we created a pretty decent number of chances today, especially in the first half. I agree that we lack a bit of creativity through the middle of the park but that doesn't mean we don't create anything. On top of that fact, we are actively seeking to strengthen our squad and a creative player or two are probably top of our list.
People also seem to forget that we scored 5 from open play in midweek, albeit against a poor Tbilisi side but you can only beat what is in front of you.
I also think that if Jermain Defoe was in Soldado's boots right now a number of people would be blaming him rather than the lack of creativity. That isn't to say it's Soldado's fault, it is to say that some of you are very fickle.
From what I have seen so far this season, we are fairly well set. A few more signings wouldn't go a miss; Chiriches, Lamela and Eriksen would pacify my needs.
I've been mighty impressed with Capoue, Paulinho looks as if he could be a real asset. Soldado is gonna score goals no doubt. Chadli looks solid so far but nothing special yet, early days I guess.

So you list of gripes from today:
1. No service to Bob.
2. No CAM.
3. Wingers were shit.
4. Lloris can't kick straight.
5. We played three CDM.
6. Both goals from the first two games came from pens.
7. In stadium TV was the wrong aspect ratio (the fuck?)
Have I missed anything?
Right bundle of larfs ain't ya?
